do_v you_o not_o say_v so_o in_o plain_a term_n p._n give_v i_o leave_v to_o answer_v for_o myself_o i_o say_v in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o church_n authority_n i_o believe_v the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n without_o rely_v on_o the_o church_n authority_n pr._n and_o why_o not_o as_o well_o in_o any_o other_o why_o not_o as_o to_o the_o trinity_n which_o to_o my_o understanding_n be_v much_o plain_a there_o than_o the_o church_n authority_n p._n that_o be_v strange_a be_v not_o the_o church_n often_o speak_v of_o in_o scripture_n tell_v the_o church_n upon_o this_o rock_n will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n etc._n etc._n pr._n but_o we_o be_v not_o about_o the_o word_n church_n which_o be_v no_o doubt_n there_o but_o the_o infallible_a authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o whether_o that_o be_v more_o clear_a in_o the_o scripture_n than_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n p._n i_o see_v you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o change_v your_o discourse_n and_o to_o run_v off_o from_o the_o trinity_n to_o the_o church_n authority_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v a_o beat_a subject_n pr._n your_o church_n do_v not_o tell_v you_o so_o and_o therefore_o you_o may_v upon_o your_o own_o ground_n be_v deceive_v and_o i_o assure_v you_o that_o you_o be_v so_o for_o i_o intend_v only_o to_o show_v you_o that_o for_o point_n of_o faith_n we_o must_v examine_v and_o compare_v scripture_n ourselves_o and_o our_o faith_n must_v rest_v on_o divine_a revelation_n therein_o contain_v p._n then_o you_o think_v the_o trinity_n can_v be_v prove_v from_o scripture_n pr._n or_o else_o i_o shall_v never_o believe_v it_o p._n but_o those_o place_n of_o scripture_n you_o go_v upon_o may_v bear_v a_o figurative_a sense_n as_o john_n 10._o 30._o i_o and_o my_o father_n be_v one_o and_o 1_o john_n 5._o 7._o and_o those_o three_o be_v one_o and_o if_o they_o do_v so_o you_o can_v never_o prove_v the_o trinity_n from_o they_o pr._n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n do_v not_o depend_v mere_o on_o these_o place_n but_o on_o very_a many_o other_o which_o help_v to_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o these_o but_o transubstantiation_n depend_v upon_o one_o single_a expression_n this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o relate_v to_o a_o figurative_a thing_n in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o which_o have_v other_o expression_n join_v with_o it_o which_o be_v own_v to_o be_v figurative_a this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n and_o which_o in_o the_o literal_a sense_n can_v prove_v transubstantiation_n as_o your_o own_o writer_n confess_v and_o which_o be_v disprove_v by_o those_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o assert_v the_o bread_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o vine_n to_o remain_v after_o consecration_n p._n show_v the_o literal_a sense_n as_o to_o the_o trinity_n to_o be_v necessary_a for_o i_o perceive_v you_o will_v fain_o go_v off_o again_o pr._n will_v you_o promise_v to_o hold_v close_o to_o the_o argument_n yourself_o p._n you_o need_v not_o fear_v i_o pr._n i_o pray_v tell_v i_o be_v there_o not_o false_a religion_n in_o the_o world_n when_o christ_n come_v into_o it_o to_o plant_v the_o true_a religion_n p._n yes_o but_o how_o far_o be_v this_o from_o the_o business_n pr._n have_v a_o little_a patience_n do_v not_o christ_n design_n by_o his_o doctrine_n to_o root_v out_o those_o false_a religion_n p._n that_o be_v evident_a from_o scripture_n and_o church_n history_n pr._n then_o christ_n religion_n and_o they_o be_v inconsistent_a p._n and_o what_o then_o pr._n wherein_o do_v this_o inconsistency_n lie_v p._n the_o gentile_n worship_v false_a god_n instead_o of_o the_o true_a one._n pr._n then_o the_o christian_a religion_n teach_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o true_a god_n instead_o of_o the_o false_a one_o p._n who_o doubt_v of_o that_o pr._n then_o it_o can_v teach_v the_o worship_n of_o a_o false_a god_n instead_o of_o the_o true_a one._n p._n a_o false_a god_n be_v one_o that_o be_v set_v up_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o true_a god_n as_o the_o god_n of_o the_o heathen_n be_v pr._n be_v it_o lawful_a by_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n to_o give_v proper_a divine_a worship_n to_o a_o creature_n p._n i_o think_v not_o for_o christ_n say_v thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v which_o our_o church_n understand_v of_o proper_a divine_a worship_n pr._n but_o the_o scripture_n require_v proper_a divine_a worship_n to_o be_v give_v to_o christ_n which_o be_v to_o require_v proper_a divine_a worship_n to_o be_v give_v to_o a_o creature_n if_o christ_n be_v not_o true_a god_n by_o nature_n p._n may_v not_o god_n communicate_v his_o own_o worship_n to_o he_o pr._n but_o god_n have_v say_v he_o will_v
